Tilt Shift

I've recently discovered an interesting processing option called Tilt Shift, basically what it does is let you select an area in your photo that you wish to keep in focus and then the rest of the shot is heavily blurred. What you end up with is an image that makes objects and building appear like miniatures dew to the depth of field that it produces.

Below are some examples of the sort of thing that can be produced.

What i found while experimenting with this process is that it helps if the shot you pick to work on already has a good feeling of depth to it because then the process really exaggerates this effect. The shot that i think works best in this respect has to be the harbour shot because it has the most depth originally. I like the effect it produces and can imagine so far better shots i might be able to produce with it in the future.
